TEAS version 7 quizlet science

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Momentum in physics is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. It is a vector quantity that describes the motion of an object and is given by the formula p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity. Therefore, momentum is best described as the mass of an object in motion. Choice A, 'Force exerted on an object,' is incorrect because force is not equivalent to momentum. Choice B, 'Speed of an object in motion,' is incorrect because speed only considers the rate of motion and not the mass aspect. Choice D, 'Distance traveled per unit time,' is incorrect as it relates to speed and not momentum, which involves both mass and velocity.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for activating the body's response to stress or danger, leading to the 'fight-or-flight' response. It prepares the body for action by increasing heart rate, dilating pupils, and redirecting blood flow to muscles. Choice B, the parasympathetic nervous system, is responsible for the body's 'rest-and-digest' activities, which are opposite to the 'fight-or-flight' response. Choice C, the enteric nervous system, primarily regulates the gastrointestinal system and is not directly involved in the 'fight-or-flight' response. Choice D, the sensory nervous system, transmits sensory information from the body to the central nervous system and is not responsible for the physiological changes associated with the 'fight-or-flight' response.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Healthy semen is composed of sperm, fructose (sugar), and prostaglandins. Urine is not a typical component of semen. While semen is ejaculated during sexual activity, urine is expelled through a separate pathway in the male reproductive system. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Urine.' Choices A, B, and C are all components found in healthy semen.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in mood regulation, sleep, and appetite. It helps regulate emotions, mood, and behavior. Imbalances in serotonin levels have been associated with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Choice A, Acetylcholine, is primarily involved in muscle control and memory functions. Choice B, Dopamine, is associated with reward, motivation, and motor control. Choice D, GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid), is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps reduce neuronal excitability and is not directly linked to mood regulation, sleep, or appetite.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is the Law of Conservation of Energy. This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The Law of Conservation of Matter (Choice A) is related to mass and the preservation of mass in a closed system, not energy. The Law of Universal Gravitation (Choice C) describes the force of attraction between objects with mass. The Law of Inertia (Choice D) states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
